In the ’90s, we still watched television on, well, televisions. Each week, the biggest stars of the our favorite hit shows would appear in our living rooms—and they started to feel like guests in our homes. Before he was a Hollywood A-lister, Will Smith starred in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, a fish-out-of-water comedy about a West Philadelphia kid living with his rich California relatives, while ER gave America a dramatic look into a busy city hospital and the doctors and nurses who ran it, including Julianna Margulies. Over the years, Architectural Digest has been invited into the homes of these stars and more, and here, we go inside the residences of some of the ’90s biggest stars, including the Beverly Hills pad of Friends star Jennifer Aniston, the Manhattan apartment of Spin City’s Michael J. Fox, the lavish Bel Air abode of Frasier’s Kelsey Grammer, and the New York loft of My So-Called Life actress Claire Danes.

Jennifer Aniston collaborated with designer Stephen Shadley to transform a 1970s Beverly Hills residence by Harold W. Levitt into an inviting retreat where she hosts frequent gatherings. “The making of the house was as significant to me as the living in it,” says the Friends star.

Designers Brooke Gomez and Mariette Himes Gomez updated the New York City home that Spin City star Michael J. Fox shares with wife Tracy Pollan. The living room features clean-lined modern furnishings, including blue-glass table lamps from Bernd Goeckler Antiques and a pair of Dessin Fournir sofas covered in a Claremont fabric; the artwork between the windows is by Louise Bourgeois, the piano is by Steinway & Sons, and the early-20th-century Turkish Oushak carpet is from Doris Leslie Blau.

The master suite in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Will Smith’s Malibu home—designed by Stephen Samuelson—includes a custom-made bed with a draped canopy of brass ball chains, as well as lounge chairs upholstered in an Old World Weavers cotton with matching chain fringe.

In the Manhattan loft of My So-Called Life actress Claire Danes—which was renovated by Joan Krevlin of BKSK Architects—a fireplace has a leather-tiled hearth, 1950s chairs and ottoman by Arne Jacobsen, rosewood chairs by Osvaldo Borsani, and a B&B Italia sofa.
